When Hao Cheng heard this, his eyes widened unconsciously: "What did you just say?" ”

Qiao Mu retreated again: "What did I just say, you still don't understand?" Naturally, I asked you to chase my brother over, so that he would not marry the scholar, lest he live a miserable life with the woman. ”

Hao Cheng immediately rejected her proposal: "No, I don't agree. ”

Qiao Mu immediately blew his beard and glared: "Isn't my brother beautiful, or do you think he is not worthy of you!" ”

Hao Cheng shook his head: "Gongzi Qiao is very good. ”

"That's it!"

Hao Cheng still shook her head, she didn't say some nonsense, only said: "Hao already has a favorite person, but Hao is not worthy of his brother." ”

Qiao Mu squinted his eyes and looked at her: "How did I not know that you have a favorite person, you came to Mingzhou City before, but you said that you don't have a favorite person." ”

She has lived in front of Hao Cheng for so long, and she has never seen any men in Hao Cheng's house. If Hao Cheng used such a reason to perfunctory her, he would inevitably take her too seriously.

Hao Cheng explained calmly: "He was found in the past few days, I originally had concerns, I didn't like him so much, and I thought that I might not have any intersection with him in this life, so naturally I can't talk about anyone I like." But now that the misunderstanding has been solved, it is impossible to live up to his wishes. ”

She paused, and then said, "If Sister Qiao can't do it, you can go back and ask Brother Ling." Speaking of which, he had some friction with Gongzi Qiao that day, and he also bothered Sister Qiao to apologize for me after she went back. ”

Her eyes were clear, her attitude was very sincere, and there was no trace of lying. Qiao Mu believed most of it, but he still felt pity: "Is it really not good?" What kind of wonderful person is he, better than my little fish? ”

In her heart, Qiao Yu is naturally excellent, and not taking a fancy to her younger brother is Hao Cheng's loss.

Thinking of Jiang Mengzhen, Hao Cheng smiled lightly: "Compared with Qiao Gongzi, he naturally has a lot of shortcomings. But to me, he's the best in the world. Since I have a favorite person, I naturally can't pursue Gongzi Qiao, otherwise I will not only fail him, but also live up to Sister Qiao's trust in me, what do you say? ”

That's right, a woman who thinks about other men is definitely not worthy of her brother. However, his proposal was rejected by Hao Cheng so neatly and cheerfully, and Qiao Mu was still dissatisfied in his heart. He straightened his face and said, "Then what if I have to let you pursue my little fish?" ”

Hao Cheng was stunned for a while, then shook his head and said, "Naturally, it won't work." ”

"Isn't that a show, let that woman be jealous, let her also see, my little fish is not unwanted!"

Hao Cheng still continued to shake his head: "No." ”

Qiao Mu was also annoyed: "You don't want to help your sister do this little thing, so if I say, if you don't help with this, I won't do the business of this restaurant." ”

This time, Hao Cheng hesitated for a moment, but after a while, he still said with an extremely firm attitude: "No, I can't let him misunderstand for this." ”

Not to mention whether Qiao Yu is willing to cooperate or not, it is that the other party is willing to cooperate. Jiang Mengzhen should also be unhappy in his heart, although it is understandable. But this era is not her previous world, what if Qiao Mu talks about acting, and turns her head and forces her to marry Qiao Yu with the issue of fame?

You can't have the heart to hurt people, but Hao Cheng's heart to defend people is not light. In the matter of the restaurant, Qiao Mu has already handed over the title deed to her, if she regrets it temporarily, she will definitely suffer losses, and there will be follow-up troubles, but it is not impossible to solve.

If the money is gone, you can earn it again, but if the person is gone, you can't get it back. If Jiang Mengzhen was angry, she always felt that the consequences would be more serious.

Qiao Mu slapped the table, snorted and put on his big hat and went out. Hao Cheng didn't know what this person was thinking, so he continued to look at the account books, and waited for the sunset before he came out of the restaurant, added a thick cloak, and walked in the direction of his home with an oil-paper umbrella.

This umbrella is made of Jiang Mengzhen's picture, the plum blossoms on the top are elegant and elegant, and the red plums on the snow are dotted, which Hao Cheng likes very much. There are also three similar umbrellas at home, each of which is painted with orchid bamboo chrysanthemum.

It was all painted by Jiang Mengzhen in front of her, and Hao Cheng looked at it for a long time at the time, only secretly thinking that he had really picked up a treasure.

It was a snowy day, so it was dark, but the snow piled up on the street made the whole house bright.

As soon as Hao Cheng entered the door, he saw the orange light in the study, the door was hidden, and an umbrella of the same style as her was placed in front of the outer wall.

She glanced at the pattern on the umbrella in the snowlight, and there was a clump of green bamboo rooted in the mountain rock, and some unmelted snow had fallen on the umbrella surface, and it was obvious that the people in the house had just returned.

She took the umbrella and entered the courtyard gate, put the umbrella on the ground casually, and then directly pushed open the hidden door and went in, leaving the two umbrellas of the same style close together, looking like they were in pairs, which made people feel happy.

An oil lamp was lit in the study, and Jiang Mengzhen sat in front of the desk, with a pile of papers similar to official documents stacked in front of him.

Hao Cheng turned around and closed the door of the study, turned his face again, and just met Jiang Mengzhen who raised his head.

Jiang Mengzhen saw that it was her, and simply stood up: "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

"It's almost over, and I'll be back early." Hao Cheng leaned over with a little curiosity, and saw that the table was densely packed with words, and there were many places on it with red circles: "What are these things for?" ”

"It's an exam question." Jiang Mengzhen would cover the door in the study to dispose of things, of course, she didn't shy away from it, seeing that Hao Cheng was interested again, he generously gave up a place for her to see enough, and even directly pushed a stack of papers over, signaling Hao Cheng to pick it up and take a closer look.

"Questions?" Hao Cheng picked up a few pieces of paper on it and asked with some confusion.

Jiang Mengzhen nodded: "Didn't you say that you want to prepare for the imperial examination, I see that you are so busy these days, so I thought about sorting out some questions from the past exams, maybe it will help you." ”

As a man, he can't be an official, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about those things in the court, since Hao Cheng wants to study, and he is from a poor family, if he wants to be outstanding, he must be at the top.

He had also talked to Hao Cheng before, and the other party's basic skills were quite solid, and the handwriting was good, but it was not eye-catching.

He pointed to a few copies of the notebook placed on the other side: "Your calligraphy has not yet been finalized, this calligraphy is Yan Jiaqin's, the examiner who will take the exam next year likes Yan Ti the most, practice against it for a while, and maybe you can add points in the examination room." ”

Yan Jiaqin Jiang Hao Cheng has heard that a very famous calligrapher in the history of this world is probably as well-known as Yan Zhenqing in her time, and a pair of genuine works can be worth a lot of money, and Jiang Mengzhen also got several.

Considering Jiang Mengzhen's identity, she didn't ask him where he got these things, nor did she ask him how he learned about the examiner's preferences. Hengzhu Jiang Mengzhen would not harm her, so he responded happily: "You have to worry so much." ”

Jiang Mengzhen didn't mention the difficulty of outlining those knowledge points, and when she saw her happy, she didn't consciously smile, and only said lightly: "It's not something strange, it's just that I pay a little attention to it, and it's naturally best to help you." ”

He knew that most women didn't like their husbands tinkering with these things, and he didn't care about these things originally, but if people really like them, they are prone to gains and losses.

Even the heavenly immortals are worried that they are not beautiful enough in the eyes of their wives, not to mention that he has a lot of problems. Some things are done carefully, and you have to worry that you won't be able to please and make her unhappy.

If this had been left behind, he would have only laughed at this kind of man as a fool. But when I really fell into it, I realized what it means to be sweet.

Fortunately, Hao Cheng didn't dislike it, it seemed that she accepted all the shortcomings he showed, but the more she was like this, the more difficult it became for him to let go, and unconsciously, the more serious his attitude towards her became.

Hao Chengyan put down the manuscript in his hand, and reached out to touch the back of Jiang Mengzhen's hand, as she expected, the other party's hand was still cold, and it felt like an ice pimple. She shivered at the cold, then frowned, wrapping the other hand's hand in her warm palm.

She frowned and complained: "Why don't you wear more, it's good to hold a hand stove, your hands are so cold." ”

Jiang Mengzhen was warmed by the temperature from her hand, and his tone softened into a puddle of spring water, he explained: "I'm not cold, but in this weather, my hands will be cooler." ”

Hao Cheng didn't say anything more, just covered him silently for a while, waited until his hands were not so cold, and then instructed Dong Xue to pour Tang Pozi to warm Jiang Mengzhen's hands.

She went into the kitchen again to look at some inventory, and packed up some vegetables and meat: "It's so cold today, let's eat some hot pot to warm up." ”

Considering that it is impossible for Jiang Mengzhen to dine with Dong Xue and Wang Yang, there is absolutely no such thing as being a master and eating at the same table as a subordinate in this world. She thought about it, but asked Wang Yang to go next door to borrow a small pot, and the four of them were divided into two groups and ate their own.

When she was eating, she wanted to mention the matter of Qiao Mu, but after hesitating, she didn't say anything in the end. Jiang Mengzhen noticed her hesitation, but she didn't want to say it, and he didn't ask, but said casually: "I introduced a few people in the past, do you think it's still easy to use?" ”

The bookkeeper and shopkeeper are all people recommended by Jiang Mengzhen, and Hao Cheng used them directly after taking the test, and those people have helped her a lot in the past few days: "It's very easy to use, but I think it's a great talent to let them manage the restaurant." ”

Jiang Mengzhen smiled and said, "What nonsense, it's naturally your blessing that they can help you." ”

After eating a hot pot, Jiang Mengzhen also sweated on his forehead, Hao Cheng leaned over and shook his hand, and finally warmed up, and then showed a little smile with satisfaction.

In the end, the two of them are not married, she cares about his name, and these days are only to the extent of pulling a small hand, and she has not done anything too Meng Lang.

The kiss is basically a dragonfly, not that she doesn't have the guts, it's just that the women in this world seem to be more sexual/desired, she is afraid of kissing, and she can't help but cross the line.

Regarding the marriage, Jiang Mengzhen told her that she was preparing, and when he took care of everything, he would not be in a hurry. When it was about time, Hao Cheng reluctantly left, and intimately closed the door for Jiang Mengzhen.

The next day, Jiang Mengzhen went out of the mansion shortly after Hao Cheng went out. When Hao Cheng arrived at the restaurant, as soon as he entered, Xiao Erniang, who lived in the restaurant and was in charge of watching the night, said: "Owner, the white steward has something to do today, let me tell you for her." ”

The horizontal and vertical matter was almost disposed of, and Hao Cheng waved his hand, indicating that he already knew.

The white steward went out early in the morning, and waited for a long time in a small inconspicuous attic before waiting for his own master.

When she saw the man holding the umbrella coming in, she immediately greeted him, and took the umbrella in his hand very respectfully, the umbrella was very beautiful, and there was a cluster of green bamboo growing on the rocks painted on it, which was full of vitality and greenery in this ice and snow.

"The master's painting skills are better than before." She hunched over with an almost flattering smile.

The latter didn't say a word, just a look, she knew what he wanted to hear, she cleared her throat, and restored yesterday's events vividly: "Yesterday, the second daughter of the Qiao City Lord's family came, and she said so at the time......" 166 Reading Network
